Hey Dude, Give Yourself a Break

Give it a Break

So, you started Wealthy Affiliate a couple months ago with a level of enthusiasm matched only by Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman intercepting a pass thrown by Green Bay Packer's Aaron Rodgers. You made the commitment to buy into the Premium version of WA; you committed to buy into the Professional version of JAAXY; and you started Following everyone and anyone who asked you to Follow them. And talk about dedication, you were completing a lesson a day of Kyle and Carson's Level 1 WA Training. Then the WA emails started piling in.

Now you are a pretty nice guy or gal. At least you think so (ha..ha). So you made sure that every email received a response. That is until you found 100+ emails from WA in your Inbox every morning and building throughout the day. Wow, how were you going to complete your normal daily chores around the house, put in an 8 hour workday, complete the daily WA lessons, build a website, and respond to all of the crazy emails? Hey Dude, give yourself a break!

Do You Need Everyone in Your WA Network

You want a large network so there will be a good chance to get help when you need it. Also, you want to be able to help others when then ask for it. Like the old saying goes "What goes around, comes around". Thing is, do you need to click on the Follow Me button on 50 to 80 good folks everyday?

I don't think so. After I had a pretty good sized network, I decided to focus on the folks with experience here at WA. Now, I scan through the various responses to Questions, Blogs and Training type emails, clicking on only the ones that were ranked from 1 through 200 and the Ambassadors. I know, I know. This is discrimination. But hey, what's a guy to do when he is overwhelmed with emails to respond too. By the way, I have roughly 95% of all members with a ranking of 200 or better and the Ambassadors in my network. I figure that when I start hitting the system with questions, I have the top folks from WA to help me. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of well qualified folks out there with ranking between 200 and 600. So hopefully they won't get twisted off at me for writing this blog and will also try to help "Poor, Poor Little Ole Me".

Just so you know, this one little move has cut my emails to around 25 to 40 every morning. I can handle that. If you are getting swamped by emails that you feel should be responded too, you might want to give it a try.

Now Richard Sherman won't have anything on you or me when it comes to enthusiasm.
